Excellent information. Very helpful to a new Scag user.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Worth a watch thanks for the video
Thank you for watching!!
Thank you so much. I am highly educated. God bless you all.
Lots of good info.
Thanks for the great video... really helpful. I just bought a second hand Tiger Cat 2 with mulching blades on what I want to change for basic cutting blade. Wondering if you can tell me, is the bolt that holds the blades on reverse threaded?
Hey glad you enjoyed the video! The Tiger Cat 2 should serve you well, and no the bolt is not reverse threaded.
we use all scag oem high lift on our scag walk behinds they cut grass and anything great really has a great vacuum
we've heard the same from alot of customers - thank you for your business!
Have a SVRII-52V-37BV-EFI. What is the part number for the standard lift high horsepower blade for the 52”? Are there high horsepower options for the high lift and mulch blades? Also have a SVRII-61V-38KW-EFI so part numbers for both deck sizes would be great. Thanks in advance.
Scott, thank you for your questions! Before we answer we should mention its always best to call your local dealer. They know your cutting conditions better than we do!
The high horsepower blades are only available for the 61" deck. The 52" deck blade options are standard thickness blades. These blades are the right choice for your mower. Part Number 482878.
There are not high horsepower options for any blade type outside of the 61" deck part 482881. What makes these blades "high horsepower" is they are a bit thicker than a standard blade.
I use the mulching blades with the kit and never had a problem. They cut the grass great and feed the grass.
we agree that a full mulch kit from Scag is the way to go for mulching. mulch blades by themselves, or block off plate by themselves will not give the same result. thanks for your comment!
I'm in the Midwest with the OE scag v ride 48 and I was going to get just mulching blades just strictly for leaf season for mow and shreads not to really lay nice stripes just mainly for really chopping up the leaves and I do not have a chute cover it is open. Would this be okay to do so?
Tough question. Is it going to cut the leaves into little pieces - no. Will it help yes but you are still going to have to go over them a couple of times depending on how much there is. For best leaf results we recommend the full Hurricane Mulch kit. It comes with baffles, blades, and block off plate.
I like the Scag blades. I even use them on my Toro mower. I think it has to do with the longer fin. My scag mower cuts the best.
Scag OEM blades are the best!
We agree - Scag OEM is where its at. Thanks for watching!
So I live in Elizabethtown,Kentucky. I have a 61”patriot looking to buy new blades. What would you all recommend. I have whatever blades came on my patriot when I bought it
We recommend standard lift OEM blades from your local Scag dealer. That is what the machine would have come with from the factory. Thanks for your question!
I have a Scag Tiger Cat II with Qwik-Chute - will the Mulching blades (#6) work well with that? I live in NEOhio.
Bob - first we should mention that you are outside of our territory. However, we can try to help with some general info. First, we would NOT recommend simply using a mulch block off plate and mulching blades. You will not be happy with the result. It will likely clump. The reason the full hurricane mulch kit works so well on the Scag Velocity+ deck is the extra baffles that come with the kit. Those baffles help to push the clippings back down into the blade path, ensuring clippings are cut and RE-cut to leave a nice manicured finish.
If mulching is truly your aim, your best bet is a full hurricane mulching kit. Keep in mind that during spring or other times of very lush wet grass, you will likely need to mow more often with a mulch kit to get an acceptable result. If you try to take 6"+ off in one pass, you will not be happy with the cut quality. you may need to do multiple passes over the same area. If you are not set on mulching then your best bet would likely be standard Scag blades with the block off plate and minimize the time you leave the chute closed. Also, mow slower with the chute closed.
Hope this helps you! Thanks for your comment.
What is the part number for blade number five the Scagg sand blade? I have a 48 inch Tiger cat ll. Thanks
482996 is the right size sand blade for a 48 inch. Thanks for the question!
great video, I have the 2021 vride 2 52 with te vanguard 37hp ( awesome powerful motor) I have the twin bagger belt driven. I like to run the super high lift blades without the vac and deck discharge reducer plate off and leaves great stripes and awesome cut quality. with the bagger on, what best blades to put on for best cut and minimal blowout and will work with the vac blower? (I already lowered the front deck baffle down to slot a 3rd hole. the latest setup is with g5 gators on and does great on leaf pick up and helps on shredding clipping for extra room in bag, but poor cut quality. any great suggestions will definitely help me out. thx again
this video has our bagging recommendation right in it! one high lift blade on the discharge spindle, and 2 standard blades on the middle and outside spindle. If you are in some crazy wet conditions then you can try all 3 high lift blades but because of the larger wing, the air resistance robs some of the power from the engine (harder to spin the blades). FYI we always recommend using Scag OEM blades on your Scag mower!!
@@KPMExceptional thans for your recommendations on blade setup. your rt, currently have the extra high light on the bagger discharge and 2 standard scag blades on trim side and middle. Also switched out stock front deck baffle with your scag special deck baffle with longer bottom lip toward the blower discharge side. with this, little to no blow out. thx again
How would the velocity plus do removing the baffles in long stemmy grass
We would not recommend removing the baffles to your velocity plus cutter deck. Removing the baffles will result in poorer performance regardless of the conditions - they are essential.
However adjusting the baffle to a higher position may help with longer grass.
Can you run a set of high lift blades on a Scag 52 without removing the Scag Hurricane Mulch Kit? I currently have mulch blades on it but plan to put the Scag High Lift blades without removing kit come May on TTTF in Ohio. It’s a highly manicured lawn, mowed two-three days per week in spring
Hey thanks for your question. We do not recommend using high lift blades without removing the Hurricane Mulch kit. High lift blades are designed to discharge while the mulch baffles are designed to do the opposite.
Great feedback, I really appreciate it. I’ll just stick with Ripper Mulch Blades and run the Hurricane Plus Mulch kit and mulch blades all year around.

where can i get that yellow striped shirt custom made to my liking?
how do i get better stripes from my scag walk behind with the mulch kit? mowers dont seem to stripe as well with the mulching kits.
Unfortunately Scag does not offer factory striping kits for their walk behind mowers. More importantly, you will have trouble striping while mulching due to the nature of the grass cutting. Especially at this time of year, you'll need to cut 2 or more times per week, taking only a little off each time to get a really high quality of cut.
If you really want to add a striping kit there are numerous aftermarket options out there but we do not sell them and cannot recommend their use. Thanks for your question!
@@KPMExceptional im curious can you explain what mulch kits do that changes the nature of grass cutting and decreases stripes?
@@darkrosemusic7663 sure! When you are cutting and discharging grass out the side, the grass left is pulled up and then laid back down by the rollers on the back of the deck. With a Scag striping kit on a sit down ZTR, the additional striping roller lays down the grass even further. With all the grass pushed down in one direction, you get stripes.
With a Scag hurricane mulching kit the grass is cut, then recut numerous times before falling down in between the grass blades. In order to do that the deck is closed so grass doesn't discharge out the side. you end up with grass standing up way straighter after the cut than you would with a side discharge.
This is a great link from Scag that explains lawn striping further: www.scag.com/pro-tip/lawn-striping-and-lawn-patterns/
Did not mention clamshell bagger on a scag. What do you recommend for turf tiger clamshell?
Hey thanks for your question. We recommend using the same setup we recommend during the video for all bagging situations. That being - One high lift blade on the discharge side, and 2 standards on the remainder.
Very well. Thank you
I use the mulching blades in the fall when the leafs fall I don’t use a mulching kit. This turns the leafs into powder
depends on moisture level, amount of leaves, and speed of mowing. if it works, send it!
Wish you would have made this a month earlier. Went after market high lifts and cut quality went way down. Stock blades back on and much better. Thanks for a great video !
Thanks for watching, more to come!
Im trying to get my job to put these on. I want better stripes. You forgot to mention that you can suck out bad stripes
Can you use the sand blade with a bagger
Technically you can, but it is not recommended. The sand blade has the least lift when compared to the other blades and lift is crucial for bagging.
so it's better to use regularly blade with a high lift on the discharge side
Not necessarily better. Just something you can try if you are unhappy with your cut quality right now. Mowing conditions change and the great thing about Scag mowers is they are adjustable to a wide variety of cutting conditions. Thanks for your question.
Guys I have a 2021 Turf Tiger 2 61” deck, we live in NC and have very thick fescue grass, we have over 8 acres that we cut on our farm. We have just over 50 hours on the mower and we’ve noticed that the mower isn’t cutting as well in the middle of the mower, big lines of grass are left over. Any thoughts? Do I need to replace my blades, do they need sharpened? Just trying to figure this out, as this isn’t our first Scag Turf Tiger and I’ve never had this problem. Thanks
Ok. First step is to check the blades, are they damaged? Do they need to be sharpened? check the blades tip to tip to make sure nothing is bent or damaged.
If still having issues, check out page 24 of your owner's manual found here: www.scag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/2022-STTII_Book_03488_Rev-1.pdf
@@KPMExceptional Thanks.....I just ordered The WORX set, we have a lot of mowing on the farm and want to test them out. We really appreciate your feedback, as I won’t be surprised if we also need to clean the underside of the deck, thus we bought your scraping tool as well.
@@realfreedom5029 we wouldn't recommend any blades except Scag OEM blades for your needs. Good luck with your search. If you are still stuck then your next step should be to contact your Scag dealer. Thanks for your comments.
@@KPMExceptional should I cancel my order? I thought based on the video that you guys recommended your blades for the Scag?
@@realfreedom5029 we recommend scag oem blades for Scag mowers, purchased from your local scag dealer. I’m not sure what you mean by Worx. Is that another brand?
Where can I buy one of the #4 blades for a 37hp motor? Thank you!
We always recommend your local Scag dealer. Having a relationship with your local Scag dealer will pay you dividends throughout the life of the mower. Don't have a local dealer? You can enter your zip code and find someone here: www.scag.com/dealer-locator/
@@KPMExceptional alright thank you, I checked with my local dealer yesterday and they said they can’t get any. Is there a place I could buy them online?
@@johntaylor6340 any Scag dealer can order you the blades you need. You didn't mention the deck size of your mower or the mower series, so we can't give you the exact part number for your mower. We can help you get the part numbers you need - just send us a message on Facebook at facebook.com/KPMExceptionalLLC. CZcams comments won't allow us to post images and stuff. Thanks!
@@KPMExceptional great thank you!
scag blades are best on my ferris super high lift
I also have a ferris. Do you get fine clippings out the chute?
#4 looks like a super hi lift to me.
It’s actually a regular Scag OEM high lift blade right off the shelf in our parts warehouse. This one is part number 481712. Thanks for your comment!
@@KPMExceptional it’s funny how the lift is determined by the manufacturer of the particular blade in question. To me, #1 and #2 would be hit lifts, #3 would be medium lift, and #5 would be a low lift.
Are Scag OEM blades made by XHT, or are those aftermarket blades?
XHT are aftermarket blades. They are not affiliated with Scag OEM. Thanks for your question!
@@KPMExceptional Thanks. Do you know where I can get 482881 OEM blades online? I want the real deal. As a disabled senior, can't be crawling under the mower much. Thanks again.
@@DavidD-bg7uo the only place we recommend buying Scag parts is at your local Scag dealer. We're sorry to hear you are disabled. Maybe you can give your local dealer a call and they can deliver them to you?
@@KPMExceptional Thanks for your help.
Thanks for this video but I have a question that no Scag dealer can answer so I'm hoping you can help me.
Question..... There is a small rubber dust cover ( beak) on my carbon canister that Scag doesn't show a part number for , nor do they show the actual dust cover ( beak) parts in the listing .
It looks the same as the rubber cover ( Beak) on the air filter but has a smaller OD .
Can you help me with a part Number I have a SST61V-29DFI , Eng tag FD791D-GS04 , Serial # F5900402
I believe the part number you are looking for is 484366 - that does include the filter AND beak - but it is quite inexpensive.
@@KPMExceptional ... Yes 90.00 for the canister but why couldn't we buy a simple rubber without the complete canister ? I have checked with dealers and they tell me the rubber beak doesn't come on the canister.
Things change fast! I have checked our warehouse and inventory - the part number 484366 is indeed the rubber beak AND filter NOT cannister. For about $3.00.
That sounds great, I’ll buy that for sure
@@KPMExceptional ... Can I buy one from you, if so where ?
When he said a steak test I pictured a beef steak not a metal stake. Haha
This video states blade 1 is for "under 31 hp," and blade 2 is for "over 31 hp." What about 31 hp engines such as the Kawasaki fx921v? Why are they left out? If blade 1 is for "under" 31 hp, and blade 2 is for "over" 31 hp, then engines like the Kawasaki fx921v on Scag Cheetahs get left out.
Sorry about the confusion, we meant to say 31 hp and above. So for the Kawasaki fx921v we recommend the blade 2 option.
Gator blazes???????????????????
Gator blade is another term for a mulching blade. We cover them around 4:45 in the video - blade number 6 shown on the desk.
No way air resistance is bending any scag blade ever. I think they played the telephone game with the R&D info and translated it there own way. Lol.
Believe it or not air resistance can indeed bend metal.
